And I think, this is going to sound crazy.

I don't know why I'm doing this because I usually don't do it.

He reminds me of a Scottie Pippen type of talent, but without MJ in his way of growth, if that makes sense, right?

Yeah, but like, you know, when Scotty, when MJ left for those couple of years, Scotty, you got to see that Scotty could carry, right?

Like Scotty had a whole lot of stuff that he sat to the side because he had MJ.

And Koop reminds me a lot of that.

He's a Swiss army knife in terms of size, length, what he can do with that size and length offensively in terms of like handling the ball.

creating and facilitating scoring.

And so I, I mean, statistically scoring the ball, he's, he's number one in the race.

The platform is right for him in the absence of everybody else there in Dallas, but I think he's the rookie of the year.

And I'm just, you know, I think I really, I didn't miss cause I knew he was gonna be a great player, but what he could potentially be, I think I, I was a little short on that on an eval if, if, if that, if that's fair.

Sure, sure.

Yeah.

Well, yeah.

I mean, I'm always pulling for somebody that's got a little backbone, especially when you're young as a player.

You got to stand up for yourself, bro.

I mean, I know there's a place –

like so-called place when you're a rook and you're not supposed to get the calls that everybody else gets and stuff like that.

But we're all lacing them up the same way, bro.

So like, don't, don't try me like that.
